it was magical indeed especially the matchstick lichen on the old wooden fence, the chickadee talking up my offer on hand to land on even though I didn't have any food and last but definitely not least your wonderful gentle spirit.

I'm seeing these rather late as I've been moving house but they are so wonderful, lovely colours indeed. Happy belated birthday Nicole.The chickadees look so similar to our coal tits here in the UK, but they seem much calmer our coal tits are a bit frantic.
